Re: Cost of living in Cameroon

Hi!

I live in Douala and here are a few prices:

Beer at an expat bar (Orange mécanique, Cigale, etc) 4,000 CFA (9$)
Dinner for 2 at a nice restaurant with one bottle of wine: 45,000 CFA

Water: 1,900 CFA for 6 bottles of Yassa of 1.5 liter or 2000 for the same of Tanguy

Food: put around 250,000 CFA per month for 2

Fruits and vegetable are affordable.  One KG of tomatoes cost 500 CFA.  When I buy my fruits and veg for the week, it costs me around 4,500 CFA.
